Phone is Nokia 2720 Flip
Where did you buy it from? 😊
I'm going back to flip-phone. Social media and texting are destroying my life.
There's a world going on.
Fishing, camping, golfing, skiing, and numerous activities to do in instead
Hey
I'm scared people might look at me weird cuz I will be using this flip phone 😭😭
i think that people would find it so cool and it would be a great conversation starter, I’ll go for it too!
ur so right i just love taking pics :( i think i will save money from work for a nice camera ! sometimes i’ve realized sometimes you just have to live in the moment without taking pictures so that they’re just memories. I seen a shark in the water last summer and I didn’t have my phone it was the most amazing moment and i was sad i couldn’t get a picture. yet i felt so connected to earth being that close in the water !!
@@prathibangtan0746i was thinking this too!! i feel we would be on top truly because it’s not common
Please take fishing off the list, imagine if you were doing the same things to dogs. Show mercy. Enjoy nature without needlessly harming ❤
I really miss the act of slamming a flip phone shut when a call ticks me off. LOL
😂
Excellent video. Thank you! I'm very tempted to ditch my Apple, as it's just too easy to go on it for one thing, and then find I've spent 3hrs on UA-cam, and it's 1am! Yes, a dumb phone is way less convenient, but the undeniable truth is that modern convenience comes with seriously unhealthy consequences. Plus a flip phone is still the coolest way to take a call. Beam me up, Scotty 😁
I did the switch! Trying to get better at just knowing streets by memory, but I also just bought a $50 gps system for my car (they're pretty nice nowadays) and for anything else I can either use my laptop or paper and pen for. Sometimes the "losses" I've encountered after downgrading are actually gains. There is freedom in not having everything at your finger tips actually. You don't feel slave to it.
On the gps you bought, can you look up restaurants, gas stations, hotels ect near by like you can on smartphones?
@@cameronbazner I am also curious
I love your insights! And at the same time it‘s funny, because you basically described how we all lived without smartphones 15 years ago. We were capable then, so we are capable now!! I tend to forget that so thanks for the reminder!! Love from Germany ♥️
Exactly!! haha It's scary how quickly things have changed. xx
I’ve been using a flip phone on and off for the past 15 years. Saving grace for me is, I have an iPod touch 7 and I can use that for my music, UA-cam, maps, FaceTime.
I also have an Asus Zen laptop with a great printer to print out any tickets etc. I need.
I simply use my flip for calls and a few quick texts. I pay $30 for unlimited talk and text. And my iPod was $200 to still have the Apple experience without paying crazy money for a new iPhone plus the network charge.
People think I’m weird for having an extra device but it works fine for my needs.
how do you use the ipod for gps? does it connect to 4g?
Just a note on banking. If you're connected to wifi there's no need to put your sim into your smartphone ...... Great videos 👍🏻
I’ve never seen any banking that doesn’t have a website either! Hmm
@@_____snake monzo doesnt have a website, its all in app.
And you can call them to get your account balance, too.
I’ve also kicked off 2024 with a flip phone. So far so good. I got lost once but my friend’s phone gps didn’t work either. So we drove around until we found a street we were familiar with, but it ended up fine! It feels very freeing to leave the house with a flip phone in your pocket. Look forward to more updates.
🙌🏻 I'm finding the act of getting lost or taking a wrong direction for a few minutes is making me realise that it's not a terrible thing to momentarily have to stop and find other ways to figure out how to get back on track. Of course, safety is very important, but when it feels safe it's actually nice to have to ask someone for directions!
The cat s22 is the one I'm using because is still a "smart phone" but it's so small it's not very convenient. I have a few apps! Maps, bank and Spotify 10/10
Sadly its too bulky @@Yennism28
I won't FREELY go back to S.Phones. But the day that it becomes 100% life is now on that thing. I am not going back to it. I have 107+ books that was just on the shelf not being read because I was addicted to that thing. Things are better for me now that I made that switch.
I have used a flip phone since 2020. Love it
Typing this on my flip phone rn! I have a cats22 flip and all I need on here is Uber and Spotify, I have no social media on here and I've been loving it, it's also nice to just close it and put it away
Wish I could switch to this but apparently it doesn't work with verizon! Makes me sad :/
where did you buy urs from? 😭😭
Can u download email and teams? I need to use those for school
really happy to see someone talk about the banking aspect. still figuring out my preferences. looking really forward to getting a dumbphone!
A laptop at home compliments a dumbphone perfectly. You can do everything on laptop that you can do on a smartphone the only difference is you have to wait until you get home to do it.
I got a Nokia flip phone and am just waiting for the SIM card :) Excited to finally make the switch after debating about it for a year now.
love this. just doing my research about transitioning to a dumb phone. i feel like smart phones encourage impulsivity because as you say, everything is very convenient, and i'm looking forward to slowing things down!
im still living in the Compact Disc era too, i never left it, and im becoming more aware of how odd it is, when i give a burned disc to coworkers for music fun and then they say 'oh i gotta see if my car has a cd player cause i dont have one' lol its weird
I’m still using cassette tapes 😂
@@jamesharris7003 Lol perfect. i used to use blank ones a lot too so i could recording myself telling stories or singing when i was a kid. good stuff. i still have the boombox i did all that with too
just purchased a flip phone, inspired by your videos, and I'm sooo excited to be untethered from my iPhone. I will still keep my iPhone but use it only on wifi and as a kind of secondary device. yay!
I'm doing pretty much like you this year (I did this in 2019 for some months, but then got back to smartphone). For the bank, I keep a tablet at home. I haven't gove around to transfer my music to my flip phone yet, but I'll do it soon! My main issue is Uber, I used it a lot...
I am fairly convinced I will get a basic flip phone. My intention is to use it when out and about but keep my old smart phone basically as a music player when I am at home or on a long commute, but also to use it occasionally at home through WiFi to do banking and catch up on emails and Messenger. In effect the smart phone will become my tablet, but it won't come along and distract me when out on hikes or with friends.
You don't know how useful your video has been for me!! Thank you so much for opening up, for showing us all the benefits of 'being smart' instead of letting the phone doing everything for you. The part where you described the process of music playing, I enjoyed it and it led me to a profound thought of "what happened to the times when it was us who had to be involved in more mental processes and didn't depend on technology" this really made me think how much our brains have become lazy. I know others might not have paid attention to that specific part of your explanation, or thought it was too much work, but that's precisely the point, in my case I loved to think about having to manually do things again! And you're totally right, sometimes we rely on text bc we want to avoid direct human contact, but it's really necessary to demonstrate interest to our loved ones and make the most out of our time on this planet!! God bless you, amazing reflection!!!
Thank you for sharing your insights, super interesting!
This is amazing! Well done! I’m considering some version of this minimizing as well.
you are adorable. thank you for being awesome. only just ran into your channel but this is delightful
I've been thinking about downgrading to a flip phone now on and off for years... WhatsApp and gps has always been a must for me, so knowing such a flip has this (I've looked and its also in pink which is also a must haha) so i think im getting to the point where I'm ready to make that jump, I do love my easy to go music so im thinking of making my smartphone like an ipod for some convenience ;)
Where did you find it in pink? I thought about getting this one but I can't find it in pink 😂
This was a very realistic review. Thank you so much!
Excellent videos Charlie
So interesting hearing all of the different things that have been impacted/ you've had to think about since switching. It's definitely making me think about just how reliant I am on technology in general, even outside of social media use!
Totally! There are so many more things that smart phone use impacted that I had to think about than I thought... I'd initially tried just dumbing down my smartphone because I was overwhelmed, so it definitely took time to come to this decision.
i got flip phone as well and i been used over month 1/2 and i love it
I never owned a smartphone - as a life long computer/software geek, I never saw the point the stupid things. A mediocre phone and a HORRID computer, never mind the expense of the things. Not even in my world, so I certainly can't miss them. I currently have a Sonim XP3Plus which is a ruggedized flip.
However, one huge caveat: _make sure your phone supports the digital cellular system your carrier uses_ . Because many cellphone carriers are turning off 2G (and increasingly 3G) digital cellular support, if you have an older flip phone it might effectively become useless. Check to make sure the phone supports Voice over LTE (VoLTE), which means it can work with 4G LTE digital cellular service, supported by most every cell phone carrier nowadays.
Thanks for the perspective! I will likely have to keep my smartphone and use it a lot since I do so much gig delivery work but knowing I can swap sim back and forth makes it a no-brainer. Only thing is I love Tidal.... But I am not opposed to having the SD card on the go!
Thanks for sharing. I gave up my iPhone some time ago for a Nokia feature phone. Feel so much better now. Highly recommended. You won't really miss anything and your life will continue like it always has.
Your two videos on downgrading your phone have been really interesting to me as I've been trying for months to limit my phone usage and I inevitably keep going back to my old levels after a few weeks of successful reduction, similar to your experience.
I like the sound of the phone you're now using as it has WhatsApp and GPS as well as 4G, but I'm having trouble tracking one down here in the UK. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get yours from?
This has been an interesting topic to learn about. Looking forward to hearing more about your journey!
It would be awesome if you could consider using alternatives such as flip phone or basic phone, because “dumb” is a word with both historical and current ableist usage.
I hadn't thought about that - I got the word from phone websites (it's literally called a dumbphone on the Nokia website) - but you're right, thanks for raising this.
After your last videos on this topic I read the Cal Newport book and have started my digital minimalism journey. I now have a Nokia 2660 Flip for calls and texts and have been loving it! I kept my smartphone for banking and Whatsapp to communicate if needed but I just leave it at home and only switch it on when needed. The only problem I have come across so far has been paying for parking, as some machines don't actually work anymore and only use an app.
Overall the benefits far ouweight a few inconveniences though. It has really made me slow down, realise I don't have to respond or deal with things immediately, and I now have a lot more time to do intentional things I actually love and make me happy instead of endlessly scrolling. Thank you for inspiring me to do this and sharing your experience!
How wonderful to hear!!! I'm so happy it's helping you :) Thanks for sharing how you're getting on! xx
Hey Zoe, I've been thinking about it as well. Would you say it will be a matter of switching SIM cards when required on and off. I'm okay in doing so. Which flip phone do you recommend, for EX: I would like to be able to text easily or a least better then those old flip phones.
With banking (Monzo), UA-cam etcI’ve installed these ‘essential apps’ on my iPad. When I’m on the go or at work I can carry it in my rucksack and it’s there if I need it, otherwise I just wait until I get home and catch up on a bit of admin. For music I’ve got a beautiful Sony Walkman and just use cassette tapes down the gym, going for walks etc.
Love the video and your determination! I'm thinking about buying this phone, does it have a good battery life?
I'm so inspired by this! I'm really thinking about doing it myself. Another thing you can do about WhatsApp is download it onto a different device, I have the app on my laptop because I find that if I can type on a laptop keyboard it feels a bit less overwhelming for me to respond to messages 😂 otherwise I have lots of demand avoidance about getting back to people. I suppose that way you could receive the larger video files
Unfortunately my flip phone doesn't allow me to access Whatsapp Web, but if it did this would be the perfect solution! I guess I could access Whatsapp web using my smartphone every now and again when I just want to bulk download and save larger video files. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@charlierewilding ah that makes sense. And just to say, I've started experimenting with one of my very old phones (from like 2008 haha) to see whether I could make the switch. You've inspired me! Have a great day x
i have only ever used dumbphones. in 2020, i got the nokia 2720. i liked it, but it had issues, albeit small. i saw the cat s-22 a couple years ago, and wanted one, but $200 cdn too much when i still had the 2720. i saw that the s-22 is now $91 cdn, so i ordered it and im looking forward to the more capable unit while retaining the form and function and 4g of a flip. plus its a water/dustproof tank.
I’ve been using a flip phone as well, the only reason for me to take or use my iPhone would be for gps if I needed to get some place and didn’t know how to get there other wise I only use my iPhone for social media and internet
thank you for everything.
Are you satisfied with the autonomy?
also no bug?
the manufacturing quality seems correct? many say that it is of lower quality than the Nokias of 30 years ago
thanks
just bought one!
My wife and I are up in age and we use laptops for medical, email, youtube , movies , etc. When we are out of the home, we just need to talk to each other, or emergency services, that is all. I have come to the conclusion that all we need are prepaid "burner' / 'brick' phone plans and reliable flip phones. Seems fast, reliable and low cost. Am I correct ? We only need talk and text. Can you help ? Subbed and shared.
i want it!
I am considering doing this, I have a question, I currently have an iPhone and I too am looking to continue using whatsapp, the thing I have no idea about is I am used to whatsapp backing up, I wanted to know if you put the sim back in your smartphone can you still use whatsapp and the messages will be up to where you left off when you took the sim out in the first place?? I don't really get how whatsapp works on a phone with no space, back up? do you delete previous messages or does it just not have access to the old messages on whatsapp?? I remember on old phones before iPhones and you would have to delete messages to have space again, just basically wondered if it is the same with whatsapp on this style Nokia? thanks!!!!
I have a question. What kind of flip phone you use that includes GPS? I'm currently looking for a flip phone that includes GPS and a MP3 player to listen to music. Thank you! Love the video ❤
Awesome. Would i be able to use my existing Vodafone sim?
I’ve been using my Nokia 8210 4G for over 6 months now. I love it. I wanted to have a detox from my iPhone and the iPhone has been in the drawer.
By the way what phone is this. I feel like i was having the same idea of keeping another phone just in case but using one like this most of the time. I feel like there is definite burnout created by modern phones, esecailly if one has too much free time or are addictive
I feel like I am paying for a $1000 phone that does a lot of things but I don't use any of those features, except phone calls and txting. I am considering downgrading from iPhone 15 to good ol' flip phone. I used to have them in the 90s anyway, I'm not foreign to that technology.
I was planning to switch to feature phone from this starting 2024.
You're bottom line was absolutely amazing and insightful including all other points.
Though, you talked about redefining the meaning to your smartphone and redefining it as a tool. So do you plan to switch back to smartphone back again in future?
Appreciates your content ✨
I'm not sure yet! I am figuring it out as I go along - will be sure to share updates :)
I went back to a full dumbphone 3 weeks ago and I love the mental freedom of no emails/apps/notifications - I am missing whatsapp though so maybe this is a better phone for my needs! Whats the sound quality like for music playback?
I’m looking forward to doing banking on the laptop. I think my attention will be honed in the way it probably should have always been. I am a bit concerned with music. Downloading music - I haven’t done that for years and back when I did I did not enjoy it at all
Hello! I have a question concerning WhatsApp: I am, too, trying to downgrade to a dumbphone, but I went to the only store in my city which had one (second hand) Nokia 8000 4G and they said WhatsApp couldn't work, because the software didn't support the WhatsApp updated version... Does WhatsApp really work or did you have to do something to the software so that it could work? If WhatsApp did work immediately, without any intervention, do you know whether this depends on the country where you are using it? I'm asking this because I have to order it online, therefore I can't test it myself before buying... Anyways, thank you for your video! It is nice to see so many people getting aware of the plethora of harmful consequences of widespread smartphone usage!...
The biggest drawback to taking photos and videos with those phones (I have the same one) is that the "lens cover" being integrated into the phone's front cover means that as the cover gets scratched up, so does the area of it that covers the camera lens, which creates a hazy effect on photos and videos. Putting a small piece of black electrician's tape over it will keep that from happening. Just peel it off when you go to take a picture.
I like my Samsung s6 edge for the brilliant camera but i kind of want your one now. I had an old nokia 10 years back for a while. When mobile phones became popular i refused to get one at first..I Also miss the buttons
I can bank over telephone or web browser
For banking you can use a computer (thats what i use anyway), same with whatsapp.
Thank you so much for this! Why can you not use Whatsapp Web? I'm thinking about getting this phone, but I was expecting to be able to just use whatsapp on my computer.
i've been using a flip phone for 3 years now and i love it - though i would change to a light phone 2 if they put whatsapp on it
I’m considering getting the wise phone 2 when my phone dies. It has a lot of the basic features like a flashlight and a camera but it doesn’t have internet or social media which I think would help me 😊
That looks like such a great option! Wish it was available in the UK!
I use the 2720 for it's hotspot then you a fire tablet or my Mac mini to go on the internet.
The phone is super! Only the glass is cheap it lev
Aves keyboard marking on the screen.
Hey could I ask if this can use uber/lyft app? I need that mmore than GPS actually...I am a woman in a city without a car so I do need those apps for safety (as you've mentioned in your case with GPS!) Thank you :)
Love flip phones!
Could you have done the banking on a computer instead or get paper statements?
Hi. I’m planning to switch to a Nokia Flip 2720, I work in healthcare and since I work long hours I don’t really have any social media life and presence, but since our main communication is whatsapp, I just wanna know does the “group chat” function in whatsapp still work on that phone?
Lol, I had the same discussion with my daughter as you had internally.
Her: why do you still use that phone? How do you keep contact with people without whatsapp or imessage and stuff?
Me: ?!? Well, its a phone, so…. 😂.
Great video. As someone who helped develop a lot of tech and communictions, I am very interested in how people deal with technology tools.👍
I have the light phone 2, but still keep my iPhone around for the same banking reasons. I really really hate that eventually we WILL have to completely go digital here soon. (I am from Florida)
its got no apps on it (but u can just redownload of the app store) for that reason your strong not to cave into that and you got them skills to use banking then just put it back in the draw.
about to downgrade and start my flip phone summer. i've decided to keep whatsapp on my laptop-- you can download the app and then connect it from your smartphone before you downgrade and then it'll work :) so when i'm at home, i'll still have whatsapp. as for gps... my flip doesn't have gps so i'll see how that works. it does have an internet app though so maybe it'll be fine. i'll try planning my journey from home 😭
How funny I was looking to do this but coukdnt find a flip phone with what's app on.. Will take a look at this one, thanks
I recommend getting a 3310 or 6310 for texting.
I haven't used cash since 2019. I pay for everything with my phone, shops, garage, everything. Also my parking app which checks where I am and sends me the code for parking in that area, again no cash required, deducted from your bank at end of the month. I love the idea, but it won't work. I am 71 and live in the Netherlands.
You are right smart phone are total tention in life🌴
I just purchased my AT&T flip phone, I’ll my smart phone only for
Uber rides
GPS
THATS IT !!
Im disconnected from social media anyways , I just want to use my phone for what a phone is meant for!!
I’m so sad i just upgraded my iPhone and it would feel like such a waste to possibly downgrade or just buy a flip for such little use side by side😕
I might get one for my festivals instead of using my iPhone out it got stolen last weekend 😂
What model is this?
I believe the keyboard typing is called T9 texting.
Hi I'm getting a flip phone my anxiety is worse when I use my smartphone a lot I'm looking forward to feeling less stressed
what phone is it? you don't say it in the video right? nokia what else?
thanks
a lot of things on a smart phones have a laptop equivalent nothing beats local knowledge when it comes to safety
Were you able to remove twitter and Facebook from the phone ?
I bought mine in September but apparently it already had an update which prevents me from deleting them 🤨
Also the pre installed games are stuck there
omg yes it's sooo annoying - I bet FB/Twitter pay the phone companies to 'hardwire' their apps in - I can't totally get rid of UA-cam or Twitter, but UA-cam is so slow it doesn't work (and I haven't signed in so there's enough friction for me there to never be tempted to use it) and Twitter is apparently 'no longer supported' a.k.a. it doesn't work. I've moved them to the end of my app list so I never see the app icon when I'm using my phone generally - helps to just erase them from my field of reference!
Love this review, but I use FB/ UA-cam on it fine + not that slow 🤷🏻♂
I thought about switching to a dumb phone, until i realised that i am not on my phone too much (barely at all) when i am out and about, or at work. My problem is at home. Where i also have access to a tv, computer and tablet. So what i do is access an app called Zen mode (available on oneplus phones) and lock myself out of my phone 😂 pretty effective and i still get to keep all these apps needed for modern life.
I have only had features phones both flip and bar but will never but a smartphone!
What phone do you have?
I’m interested in making the switch too.
She's using Nokia 2720
I used a flip phone for over a year and loved it but I’m now using a iPhone 7. I might go back to my flip phone
Linux instead of windows. Thinking of doing the same with my phone and also with my PC. Shocker about the waste and also sick and tired of having to change my pc and phone latest all 5-6 years just to stay connected and in touch... For example, with Linux, my 10 year old laptop still runs smooth, i can do everything and got all the updates and recent security patches. Oh. And did i mention? It's free, because it's made by all the brains from around the world that but their heads together to produce this jem. Wish i could do the same with my smartphone. Swipe the custom OS for an open one, with a wide hardware support and almost endless hardware support. Just like Linux Mint for example. Stylish and everything like word, excel, mail, etc just ready to use the split second right after install. Awesome! We need that for our phones! No more obsolete, because no upgrade, so apps won't load, although the phone is still working perfectly. It's only the OS and the decision of the brand on the enforced limitations of not being able to update that particular phone to the new version, that's limiting. Not the phone itself. Seen cheap phones with much worse specs than my old flagship phone, but they still got the newer Android version installed. So i decided that my next smartphone will be the cheapest i can get, just to be able to catch up with the newer OS as soon as my apps stop upgrading/working. Why spend a fortune for only 4-6 years? I still remember my Nokia 3320 working fine for years, easy and relatively cheap to change battery and no heart attack if dropped on the floor. Man, that thing survived violently been thrown to the wall, collecting all the phone pieces dispersed on the floor and then still working like a charm for years to come. Smartphone, one little drop and there's your screen gone costing you a fortune or forcing you to change the whole phone. A phone easily costing more than a bicycle... What a waste of resources we have become to think of being absolutely normal... That's actually pure insanity. Am I right?! What do you think?
My bank lets you check your account info on their website. So you can just check it on your computer instead of using your phone
Hi Charlie, how are you ?
You look happier, you're even glowing ! what's your secret ? hehe
Thanks to you, I read Digital Minimalism and I loved it !
I'm not addicted to my phone at all, I only use it to listen to music and to read fanfics in the evening. However, I spend a lot of time on my computer to watch youtube videos (to educate myself), I look at emails every now and then, I even order my groceries on my computer. But I'm fine without it, I can leave my home without either my computer or my phone, as long as I have a book !
Same as you, I use whatsapp on my phone to connect with my family since we're all scattered through France.
I use discord only on my laptop and I deleted it from my phone (so no "social media" on my phone).
I have to say that I'm quite afraid to use a flip phone : because of my dyspraxia, typing is quite hard and can be painful on such a small device. I've only known smartphones since I got my first phone in 2012, when I turned 15 and I didn't even want it lol, my parents "forced" me. Do you think a pad like the one on your nokia would be fine ? is it easy for butter fingers (lol)?
For now, I only dumbed down my phone : I use google only to read, I stopped checking the news, I "deleted" youtube (use it only to listen to music).
By the way : are you letting your hair grow ? your lil waves are so cute
omg thank you! maybe it's the digital detox hehe I'm soooo glad to hear you loved Digital Minimalism, it sounds like you have a pretty intentional relationship with technology - I've definitely noticed I'm spending more time on my laptop since getting rid of my smartphone... so for me, I think that's the next thing to focus on! I totally understand your concern about the flip phone - I actually chose this model because it has a bigger pad than most of the other dumb phones I could find. The keys are about the size of my thumb pad, but the device itself is a lot thinner than a smart phone so it's definitely a different user experience! And yes thank you - I'm letting my hair grow - mainly because I just haven't been bothered to get it cut yet hehe. I'll do another video on things I've noticed in my first month of being off my smart phone and aaddress your questions in that :) xxx
Thank you Charlie ! @@charlierewilding
Hehe, it's easy to get sucked in another form of "mindless use" of technology on another device ! And we mostly grew up with computers/laptops so it's more familiar, right ?
I appreciate your answer about the flip phone, I'll definitely take it into consideration :D
I just bought one, the iPhone is going in a draw for my banking apps etc. new number new phone hopefully I can recover my attention span 😂
Im getting older at 40 and i would rather have a flip phone. I dont have any or use social media. Im in the market for a flip phone.
😮😮How you have WhatsApp? A lot of people bought this phone and said they can’t download that app
I honestly don’t think I would wanna scroll the internet or even watch UA-cam on a Samsung galaxy S3
Same with the older blackberry’s
Wait is this the 2720 flip, mine has WhatsApp calls
yep, mine can't do WhatsApp calls - maybe it's location dependent?
Maybe, I’m in Ireland though which isn’t too far off though, on my WhatsApp I can call people by using the three dots when I’m in a chat and there’s also a call log on it. Maybe there a chance your phone needs to be updated to the latest version of Kai os if you haven’t checked that
Finland has been ridiculously aggressive with these smart phones.... hello the country that gave you Nokia phones.. can't do anything in this country without a smartphone, there's an app for everything.... this is truly disgusting
If you took all but your banking app off your smart phone, why not use it? You've eliminated all the distractions.
I want an actual camera.. which one do you use? I have a world war 2 one but thats a bit expensive for each photo 😂
Technology specialist, and I have to say literally EVERYONE I know is either completely going back to a home phone and going cell phone free, or have swapped to a dumb-ish flip phone.
